Luis Enrique’s side currently enjoy a nine-point advantage at the top of the La Liga standings, with Real Madrid 10 points adrift in third.
A win for the home side would see the title race all but wrapped up, while Madrid are desperate for a boost.
And a victory for Luis Enrique’s men would effectively wrap up the title with just seven games of the league season remaining.
As for Madrid, a win could fire them back into the title hunt and give Zinedine Zidane’s men the boost they need going into the run-in.
